Literex

Markdown in Word. Diagrams stay sharp.

Literex brings Markdown and Mermaid into Microsoft Word — diagrams as real vectors, razor-sharp at any zoom. The conversion runs entirely locally on your machine: no cloud, no account, no telemetry.

Features

What Literex is about.

Real vector Mermaid

Literex embeds Mermaid diagrams into the Word document as real vector graphics — razor-sharp at any zoom, in PDF export and in print. With a reliable PNG fallback.

Pandoc quality, no terminal

Conversion runs on Pandoc — the de-facto standard for clean document conversion. Right from a button in the Word ribbon, no terminal needed.

Local, offline, no telemetry

The entire conversion happens directly on your machine. No cloud, no account, no tracking — relevant for customer data, code and compliance-sensitive material.

There and back

Open Markdown as native Word — and save the Word document back as Markdown. Can also be pulled straight from the clipboard.

Your own reference.docx

Fonts, headings, page setup and table styles come from your own Word template — the output adopts your layout.

Mac and Windows

The same add-in for Microsoft Word on Mac and Windows (Microsoft 365 and Word 2021+) — identical, with no second codebase.

Live preview

Markdown in, Word out.

The same Mermaid diagram at 400% zoom — pixelated as a PNG screenshot, razor-sharp as a Literex vector.

Use cases

What teams use Literex for.

Architecture & design documents

Challenge

The draft is written in Markdown with Mermaid diagrams — but the review wants a Word file, and as a screenshot the diagrams turn to mush on zoom or in the PDF.

Solution

One click turns it into a native Word document with sharp vector diagrams, ready for comments and change tracking.

AI-assisted documentation

Challenge

AI assistants answer most happily in Markdown and Mermaid, yet the finishing work happens in Word — and copy-paste destroys formatting and diagrams.

Solution

Literex brings AI-generated Markdown including Mermaid losslessly into Word; the team finishes the rest as usual in the document.

Compliance & sensitive content

Challenge

Documents with customer data or confidential material must not pass through a third-party cloud service.

Solution

The conversion runs entirely locally — nothing is uploaded, nothing is tracked. It works offline too.
